Mary Moore

Mary Moore serves as a Technical Specialist at the Rocky Mountain Regional Office of the U.S. Forest Service, where she provides critical technical oversight for procurement initiatives aligned with ecological restoration and land stewardship. Her role bridges operational needs with acquisition strategy, ensuring that contracts for forestry support services meet rigorous scientific and environmental standards. She routinely evaluates and validates technical proposals for ecological rehabilitation, wildfire mitigation, and watershed protection projects, working closely with field staff to translate mission-critical requirements into precise statement of work specifications. Her acquisitions focus on delivering measurable outcomes in forest health and resilience, making her a key liaison between technical experts and contracting professionals. Mary collaborates with a diverse range of contractors specializing in forestry support activities, including ecological consultants, remote sensing firms, and field implementation teams with expertise in native species restoration and fuel reduction. She cultivates long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven technical competence in silvicultural practices, GIS-based forest analysis, and post-fire recovery operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, requiring measurable deliverables tied to ecological benchmarks and compliance with National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) standards. Mary’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, she actively seeks qualified small businesses that bring specialized technical capabilities to complex ecological projects, ensuring competitive, high-quality outcomes without compromising mission integrity. Her primary focus is on NAICS 115310—Support Activities for Forestry—encompassing services such as prescribed burning, invasive species control, reforestation planting, and forest inventory surveys. Mary possesses deep technical expertise in forest ecology, land management protocols, and federal environmental compliance, ensuring all procurements align with USDA and Forest Service standards for sustainable land use and ecosystem resilience.
